That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.

My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.

And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.

We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
